In match play, Player A would play as scratch (zero handicap) and Player B would get one stroke off his score on the nine hardest holes. In other words, the 10 handicap becomes zero and the 19 handicap becomes nine.n the same match on the second hole, a par-5, Player A takes 8 strokes and Player B takes 5 (par); Player B wins the hole and the match is now all square with 16 to play. On the third hole, a par-3, both players take 3 strokes and the match is all square with 15 holes to play.
For men, the average handicap is 16.1, while the average is 28.9 for women. Every course is given two ratings that determine its difficulty. They are factored into the handicap score for a player and should also be used when assessing the score for a round against what an average player would be expected to score. The Course Rating is the difficulty for a scratch golfer, and shows the average score a scratch golfer would be expected to shoot on the course.
